Me again. You know, God is really good to us. Last night I was listening to a sermon by Pastor Sexton on the subject of Charity and it occurred to me: God loves me! This is obviously not a deep scholarly thought, but it is one that we find ourselves overlooking so often. We look for everything else in life to satisfy some desire deep down, but they all come up short. To the Christian, nothing can fill that gap in his heart. Except God's love.
All Christians know that God loves them, but how often do we think about it? As I listened, I thought about how God saved me, what it cost Him to purchase my Hell-bound soul. He created this world, knowing how things would turn out. When people rejected Him, He reached out to them anyway. The Holy God of Heaven came down to man, because man could never go to God. He moved toward the cross, knowing full well what was coming, every ounce of pain He would endure. Yet He went. Jesus Christ, thinking of me, lay down His life. He gave it up for me.
We worry about so much nowadays, but why? We need to get back to basics and understand what it truly means to be Loved by God.
With brotherly Love in Christ,
-Matt
